im a member on r5gtt owners club, but it seems dead on there. i had a quick look on RTOC and it was like £25 membership and didnt seem very active either. i think im just comparing places to CS and expect every forum to give instant replies lol
i understand your concerns about the boost controller, but i want to have the car running as reliable as humanely possible. i thought lowering the boost and being able to up it to 14 (ish) psi would be alright for the engine, or am i just being a clown and just run it at 14psi always? i just dont want it to blow up lol
im 28 and i know these engines have a bad rep, but i dont drive like a lunatic all the time, this cars gonna be driving my kids around during the week, then of a weekend itll just be me, so i may give it some beans on the rare occasion and i want the power on hand. hence the 4psi daily car then running 14psi on tap on the incar boost controller. but i guess would the fuelling issue just be not worth it.
anyway, ill have a think about it.
im trying to adjust the actuator atm as its currently running 21psi (over 1.5 bar of boost)
i cant seem to see how you adjust it? ive tried to undo the nut further but it becomes very tight and i dont wanna snap anything.
if i wind the nut in (towards the actuator, then the nut doesnt reach as the thread runs out.
so from what i see, the thing that the nut pushes againsy (towards the turbo) is NOT threaded on that spline? its just a cover thats seized on yes? and when i force that nut, the thingy closes dropping the air pressure going to the turbo (or from it?)
heres pics anyway
so, this bar pulls out of the actuator, it seems spring loaded, im guessing pulling that out doesnt do anything as the thread ends before i can tighten the nut up on that side
when i pull the bar out, this happens, so im guessing it closes it, but instead of pulling the actual pin out, i need to tighten the nut up, yes?
heres the nut, the nut spins fine, i can turn it by hand. but when i get to the right side by the turbo it doesnt do anything, do i just give it some force with wd40 until it closes the thing by the turbo to lower the boost?
cheers lads, sorry if it seems like im asking dumb stuff, but engines aint my forte!
